A PERSON was airlifted to hospital after being "seriously injured" at a hotel in Llandudno yesterday (March 27).

Wales Air Ambulance and the Llandudno Coastguard attended the incident, at a hotel on the promenade, which required a cliff rescue stretcher to get the casualty to the helicopter.

The person was then airlifted to hospital for "urgent" treatment.

A Llandudno Coastguard spokesperson said: "We were called out yesterday (Wednesday) to assist our colleagues at Wales Air Ambulance with extracting a seriously injured casualty from a local hotel.

"We were able to use our cliff rescue stretcher to negotiate some tricky stairs and steps and then convey the casualty to the helicopter on the prom.

"We then kept the area clear whilst the helicopter took off and conveyed the casualty to hospital for some urgent treatment.

"If you are aware of anyone in any danger or distress anywhere around the coast, please call 999 and ask for the Coastguard."
